Samsung Transform Ultra is again a low cost smart phone for cost sensitive consumers, available from Sprint. The phone has all the necessary features a phone of this category should have.

Pros

A little thicker at 0.55 inch, probably due to keypad at the back.

Small screen size (just 3.5 inches), which could be a little hindrance while browsing web or reading mails as such.
